The Writer's Mind with Tyler Mowery
The Writer's Mind Podcast is about thinking, philosophy, writing, and storytelling all within the context of being an intelligent, thinking person who is constantly forming their own opinions and points of view. The Goal of the Podcast is to give writers a deeper look at writing. Writing is not about 3 Act Structure and 12-point script plots like you learn about in film school. Writing is about thinking. It is about building your point of view. It is about expressing your view of the world to others. And it is ultimately about how life should be lived. Looking for the other episodes?
